Let’s see.. Riali thought to herself, tapping a stylus against her lip in thought. She sat at the foot of her bed, her kit laying on a small table halfway across the room, seemingly forgotten for the time being. Studying the PaDD in her lap, she glanced over the checklist of what needed to be completed, before the evening claimed another day. How about this.. She scribbled down the items in a list of importance, making for the most effective way to tackle the rest of her day.Pulling herself to her feet, she took one last glance at the PaDD, tossing it onto the bed as it landed with a soft clap. At the top of her list, in scribbled cursive, read: ‘Check in with the boss,’ her first intended stop of the day.
Tugging her uniform, she made certain it was straight enough to be somewhat presentable, even if the scientist was harldy known for being conscientious about what she wore, she headed out of the quarters, prepared to deal with its contents later. Navigating her way back to the turbolift, she held her tongue during the entire ride up, despite a young NE standing beside her. Stepping off, with a genial nod of acknowledgement to the Ensign, she headed for the Captain’s ready room, pressing her finger against the chime.
Now, she waited.

CSO“Come in.” came a voice from the other side of the door and the doors slid open.
The office was obviously recently moved into, as there were still a few small boxes stacked in a corner of the room and two bookcases on one wall stood with empty shelves behind their glass doors. Pictures had been mounted around the room, and various odds and ends graced places here and there. Displayed prominently, however, on a shelf by itself high up on the wall directly behind the desk that sat opposite the door, was a lone figure of a gold Ox. Lighting had been directed so that it drew the eye of anyone who came through the door almost immediately.
Seated behind the desk was a human male in the red uniform of Command officers. He looked up as the doors opened. His hair was black, making the bright blue eyes beneath the well-groomed hair even more intense. He had a youthful appearance, somewhat more so than the Captain’s pips at his collar would seem to indicate. He smiled warmly as the Lieutenant entered and stood up. He was tall, but not overly so, and had a lithe, athletic build.
“Ah, Lieutenant Deandres. So nice to meet you.” and he extended his hand towards her. His voice was pleasant, with a very slight British accent. “Captain Alexander Cochrane. I trust your trip to the station was uneventful?”
Cochrane, CO
As though a shrine intended to steal the attention of every waygoing tourist, the Ox caught her diverse gaze, hogging it for several seconds. She pondered the significance behind it, wondering if it were some kind of memoriam for a deceased family member or valued crewman. Although, she had not the heart to ask the Captain if he had lost someone.
Tugging her attention from the Ox, the sound of a lightly accented voice directing her eyes towards a tall, lithe man, whose obisidan hair emphasized the azure of his profound gaze. His youth puzzled her, an appearance hardly withstanding the rank indicated by his collar. Although, she suspected the Captain held a level of prestige that age could not measure, a nature she had become accustomed to seeing.
“Captain Cochrane.. please, the pleasure is all mine,” A charming smile, friendly rather than flirtatious, bore a certain prominence about her features. “Oh, you could say something like that. My first trip was with a genial group of scienists, ranging seven different species. After living in the same bunker for six months, you can probably imagine the conversations,” She laughed. “How has your day been, sir?”
